Any piece of mind you can buy is priceless... I paid the 300$ and it has been worth it. Helps us sleep without the worry.

Definitely worth it. $300 but helps you sleep easy when baby is not crying at night!

Holy moly that’s expensive. I can understand the desire to use it. Did not use. Mostly used basic radio monitors. Now I also have nest cams so we can see what’s going on.

Being a parent is scary. Do what you need to do to have piece of mind.

Ditto. Used it. Worth it

My wife found an unused owlet on a local Facebook group for $200 - otherwise we would have paid full price

Terrible idea. We had one and the fit isn’t that great, leading to alarms and a night in the hospital for no real reason at all. Doctors said not to use it too. Get a standard monitor if you can’t hear them from your room but don’t see need for anything more

Or better still buy it off me since we definitely won’t be using it for our next kid that’s arriving soon

Anyone else feel obligated to take family/friend referrals to healthcare providers? My brother is a dentist and, in light of some work I need done, said "hey! Go to so-and-so at such-and-such. He's a friend and really great." And I'm sure he IS really great, but I love my dentist and don't feel a need to switch. But my brother has already told his friend to expect me.
